Fldash wanted to give a heads up on a persistant campaign mod they’re working on for Company of Heroes. Europe in Ruins gets rid of base/unit building and allows the players to design their own army company.
Europe In Ruins Alpha LaunchedLess than two weeks ago, the team from Europe In Ruins announced a public alpha test of their attempt at a persistent war modification for Company of Heroes. Since then, they’ve made stride to make it even easier to get involved and their player base has topped 240 players.
Using the EIR Launcher, a simple exe downloaded and placed in your Company of Heroes folder, the modification is automatically installed and kept up to date for you. In addition, the battle files from the site, which are required to play, are easily downloaded and put into place making even the most novice of computer users capable of playing.
A ‘Complete Guide’ has also been created which walks the user through registering on the site, creating a company, purchasing units/upgrade, and getting setup for a battle.
Development is progressing rapidly and soon the battle results will be sent back to the website and persistency will be attached to each company. Following that, with implementation of the war map, the war will truly start and you’ll be able to battle over Europe.
You can go to the Europe In Ruins homepage for the lowdown.
Good luck with the Alpha test!
